First of all, let's explain the concept of "three noes": no "empress", no "top stream", no big production.
In other words, it is a TV series that looks ordinary, has no selling points, and may even be "too lazy" to spend money to promote it.
There are not a few such TV series, but there are not many who can win the "high reputation". Today, we will take stock of four "dark horse dramas" with more than 8 points that meet the above conditions in 2021.
The edge of the city
The TV series "The Edge of the City", due to the continuous official announcement of the start of the new film, the continuous official announcement of the new film, but never seen the official announcement of the start of the broadcast, and was jokingly called by netizens as the crew of "only shooting and not broadcasting".
Despite the blessing of "Mao Deception" and despite having a group of fans of "Ye Qinghui", it is difficult to attract the attention of passers-by just by looking at the cast list and the unfriendly length of the single episode.
But what many passers-by did not expect was that the show opened with a "deception revealed".
Wine trays are a very common trick and are also very easy to get caught. Under the mobilization of Li Hongsi's team, the audience seems to personally follow the camera, step by step into the shadow of the city's neon, and the sense of substitution is extremely strong.
The 15-minute film is crisp and clean, without dragging mud and water.
Looking back at the "Mao Deception" series, it turned out to be a consistent taste and technique, with continuous reversals and suspense.
However, compared with the previous achievements of the "Fur deception" series: 8.6 points in the first season, 9.4 points in the second season, and 9.7 points in the finale, this "Edge of the City" is still a bit of a downward trend.
Imperial Gifts
"Imperial Gifts" and "Edge of the City" were put on the shelves before and after, and also achieved a fairly good reputation.
However, the attention of these two dramas is not because they were in a farce at the time.
On the contrary, broadcast at the same time, there are Ren Jialun starring in "Miss Crow and Mr. Lizard", Li Yifeng's "Trumpeter in Place", and "Ideal Shines on China" that caught up in May, etc., which can shine in such a "group drama shine", which shows that it is indeed superior.
Sweet white ignorant female servant work + cold face smart Wang Ye + witty funny male two + handsome battle righteous female two, such a person configuration makes many netizens can't help but brush the first eight episodes in one breath.
After eight episodes, netizens have been tied up by the clear chain of reasoning.
Take the night visit to the building as an example.
The screenwriter first asked Chu Chu to suggest that the kitchen should not be so hot, and the blind spot identity of Wang Ye and Jing Da Young Master, who were not as noble as the kitchen, did not find it very reasonable, and then began to suspect that there was a secret room.
How do you perform a general episode?
Knocking on the wall indicates that the back is empty, and a random vase is found.
How did our detective little goldfish find it?
First, let people extinguish the kitchen stove to see if the smoke outlet outside is still emitting smoke. The discovery that after the smoke is also discharged, people carry a bucket of water from the smoke outlet to fill it, and the kitchen stove has less water than it should, which confirms that the smoke outlet not only leads to the kitchen, but also leads to another place, which is public. Next, make a fire again, seal the smoke from the outside, and see where the smoke is naturally to know where the dark room is.
Step by step, carefully and carefully, properly, so that the audience is comfortable.
According to network data, when "Little Servants" ended, the number of plays broke through 900 million. Such an achievement is estimated to be unexpected by the crew.
I'm fine elsewhere
In July 2021, first Feng Xiaogang's "North and South" was a huge hit. The five beautiful actresses who coexist in appearance and strength have joined in from all walks of life, so that this web drama has received attention from all directions.
Immediately after, Yu Zheng's "Yulou Spring", which was doing enough publicity, yang Yang Reba's high-sweet "Glory" caught up. In july, when the sun is like fire, the best reputation is an unknown "I am very good in other places".
The opening of "Other Lands" is high-energy, and the first act is Hu Jingjing, who brushed the whole network, jumped off the building.
Hu Jingjing, a girl played by Jin Jing, walked up the building, and seemed to be no different from the passers-by around her. But the next second, she jumped without warning.
Hu Jingjing's encounter successfully captured the audience's psychology, while Jin Jing firmly grasped all of Hu Jingjing's emotions.
The helplessness after being dismissed, the "bad luck" swept by layers, the smile that strives to become the little sun... Each shot of Hu Jingjing, almost like a blunt knife, slowly grinds into the audience's heart.
The collapse of adults, in an instant.
The chicken feathers in "Other Places" are so realistic that they are sad.
Love is delicious
The popular "Love Is Delicious", looking at the name, it feels like pulling the crotch to death. Looking at the cast list, I feel that the "Wind Rises Luoyang" next door is more attractive.
But after clicking on, I can't stop.
A netizen chased eight episodes overnight, and couldn't help but send a circle of friends to sigh: "Laughter can't live!" I felt the joy of watching Sex and the City, London Life and I'll Be Better in the Next Life. ”
Her girlfriend of the imperial capital replied in Seconds, "I am also chasing, and I have watched 10 episodes in one breath on the weekend, which is so good-looking." Watching the trailer originally thought it was a movie, the production was very conscientious, the three heroines also have personalities, unlike some idol drama girls are a face, can't help but think of the days when they just graduated, a few girlfriends mixed together..."
In addition to the distinctive personalities of the three heroines, the screenwriter also intersperses many contemporary urban elements in the plot.
The divorce rate has risen during the epidemic, the online meeting has forgotten to mute during the break, and the member has opened a straight-through ending to say breakup... There are even actors who pretend to be close to fans in order to be on the hot search.
A Sven-wen, dignified and virtuous girl at a blind date was "held by the stars" by the men, calling her the best object to marry.
Turning her head, she pretended to be drunk in the bar, and every time a man passed by, she would judge the value of the man with her watch.
Such a variety of urban people and urban things do not give people the feeling of overexertion or deliberate force, but are as light as four or two thousand pounds.
The plot is compact, and the actor's acting skills can also be held.
The three leading actors will not say, I think that at this time, the comments on the Internet have been a large piece, let's talk about an actor who shocked Wu Yue the most.
In the episode of the blind date activity in the play, Li Zong, who sat next to Xia Meng, because he was a career-oriented strong woman, let the men take the "blind date" as an opportunity to "hand over business cards". Every time a man came over, Li was always full of expectations, and after receiving the business card, she was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say, so she had to accept it.
Mr. Li's visual sense is elegant and shy.
Wei Ling, the actor who plays Li Zong, previously starred in "Rose Walker" as a big sister who "makes the audience unable to distinguish between men and women" and "fierce and fierce".
Such a strong contrast is really a sigh: the eighteen-line actor is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
2021 is nearing the end, I don't know if you have seen these high-scoring dramas?
